Cartiva can be used as a substitute for the damaged articular cartilage in your knee. The device provides a viable alternative to those patients seeking relief for their knee pain but not wanting a total knee replacement. Cartiva can also be used to treat osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb. The implant relieves pain and restores range of motion by allowing the bones around the thumb to glide smoothly over one another.
Unfortunately, this is not the case! IF the injections are successful the theory behind them is that they help lubricate the knee joint. The injections do NOT stimulate cartilage or increase the amount of cartilage in the knee. Based on my personal experience and the multiple studies I have read (not the ones funded by the pharmaceutical companies, but ones written by a third party) about the injections.
